Veteran rapper Fat Joe was temporarily detained by Madison, Wis., police after a 33-year-old woman accused the rapper and his crew of sexually assaulting her inside a Cadillac limousine.
The woman, whom police refused to identify, says the assault took place after Fat Joe — born Joseph Cartagena — completed a performance at the Orpheum Theater Sunday evening, TMZ reports.
“Shortly after the concert had concluded … [she] found herself inside of a Cadillac limousine with Joseph Cartagena and other male subjects all with the destination of a hotel located on Madison’s west side,” according to statements prepared by Madison police.
What the report does not explain is how the woman wound up in the limo.
Fat Joe was held for questioning, the police told TMZ, but he was not arrested. He was released early the next morning before 7 a.m. No arrests have been made, but the investigation is ongoing.
